Journey Through the English Countryside: From Nietzsche to the Kiti Lighthouse

A trip through the English countryside, accompanied by classical music and discussions about Nietzsche and George Seferis, led to a quest for simple wisdom. The taxi driver, a former miner, expressed his love for the sea, which, he said, 'washes away sins'.

The conversation with the driver revealed a deep connection with nature and the sea, despite the lack of formal education. Memories of the miners' strikes and his love for the English countryside painted a picture of a man who found peace in simplicity.

The columnist concludes with a reference to the Kiti lighthouse, anticipating a walk there, weather permitting, closing with the phrase 'To the lighthouse dear readers, to the lighthouse!'.
